Otari
Otari is a small port town near the Immenwood on the south coast of the Isle of Kortos, about halfway between Absalom and Diobel. It is located at the head of a bay of the Inner Sea.1 It is a modern but relatively quiet settlement, and is popular among retired Pathfinders, many of whom operate businesses there.2 Important to the economy of Absalom as a whole is Otari's lumber trade: timber cut from the Immenwood arrives by road into Otari and, from there, is traded across the Inner Sea region.3
History
The first buildings of the town of Otari were built in the middle of the 43rd century AR by a group of ex-adventurers who called themselves the Roseguard. They built the settlement on a sheltered site south of Gauntlight, a keep built by Belcorra Haruvex, who had been defeated by the Roseguard. During this struggle, the Roseguard lost one of its members, Otari Ilvashti, after which they quit adventuring and settled down.4
